“Gloria Cecilia has dedicated her life to coffee, instilled with a passion since childhood. As a homemaker, she raised her children while juggling both roles. One of her dreams is to continue extending this family tradition through the artistry involved in coffee processing. Gloria is a mentee of COE Champion Carmen Montoya, a recognized producer of the Chiroso variety since 2014, who has guided her in enhancing her processes and production protocols. Gloria aspires to share with the world the painstaking work behind each coffee bean, aiming to deliver a distinctive cup to coffee enthusiasts. Chiroso is a relatively new variety in specialty coffee, identified as a Landrace variety originating from Ethiopia-Yemen. No one is quite sure how it came to be in Antioquia, Colombia, but it has now changed entire landscapes and perspectives on perceptions of the coffee's flavor potential.”
